- Summary
- Henry S. Leszynsky (1822-1902), born to a Jewish family in Goslin, Prussia (now Murowana Goślina, Poland), was a New York City wine and liquor merchant. Established as a dry goods merchant in Manhattan by 1850, he married Amelia H. Godfrey (1833-1912) in 1852. Leszynsky soon prospered as a dealer in wines and liquors, and was able to continue in the trade after bankruptcy in 1869. He and his family resided in Manhattan. The collection consists of one volume, the bulk of the content comprising personal and business cash book entries for Manhattan merchant Henry S. Leszynsky, 1867-1869 (pages 2-147). The volume also contains corporate minutes documenting the formation of the Bay Ridge Steamship Construction Company, 1883-1884 (pages 160-201). The Company was incorporated in March, 1883, to build and repair ships at a shipyard to be located in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn. The remainder of the 721-page volume is blank; there is no apparent connection between the two sets of records.
